The background/sky was created by spritzing the non absorbent worksheet with water and adding Color Burst, then soaking it up with watercolor paper. I continue to pick up the stain until I like the results and if you get a too dark spot place a drop of water on the spot to lighten it.
All the images were colored with Chameleon Pens: house siding - BG4, shutters and door - RD4, cedar shingles - NU3, BR5, railing, lattice, roof pipe, fence - CG8, roof - YO3, RD4, shrub - YG3, GR3, palm tree - OL3, BR5, rentals sign - BG4, beach sign - OR4 with a touch of the nib to BR2, hiking fishing - BL6, BL3, shop sign - YL2, YO3, ball - BV4, RD4, YL2, chair YO3, YL2, BR2, umbrella - BV4, RD4, CG8, flip flops - VO4
The beach scene was cut out a attached to the watercolor sky background and the chair etc was cut out also.
To cut the out of the box images (bottom 2 signs and fence) I used the Perfect Paper Crafting - Perfect Square
The Perfect Layers Mini rulers were used for the 1/16" and 3/16" borders.
The Perfect Cutting Mat and an Xacto craft knife were used for cutting and I sharpen the Xacto blade with a ordinary kitchen sharpener when it starts to get dull, this really prolongs the life of the blade.
Other supplies:
Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black
Paper: unknown white leather texture, Bazzill - turquoise, Canson watercolor paper, Beckett Expressions Radiance for images
Accessories: foam pop up circles, Aleene's tacky glue and tape for assembly

Wonderfully coloured beach scene. Reminds me of a past holiday in the Bahamas and seeing all the beautifully coloured houses there. Bought back many very happy memories.
